Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide that is used as a food additive. It is produced from starch by partial hydrolisis and is usually found as a white hygroscopic spray dried powder.

Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glukose and might be either moderately sweet or almost flavorless (depending on the degree of polymerisation).
